jaedmc Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Alexa Grasso was the only main card competitor to miss weight. She blew it by 5 lbs. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 that suuuuuuuucks for Claudia. McGregor return card, all the eyes watching, and your opponent keeps you out of the cage. How does the money work in a situation like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor return card, all the eyes watching, and your opponent keeps you out of the cage. How does the money work in a situation like that? Chas Skelly got his fight canceled earlier this week because Grant Dawson is having USADA issues, but I don't know if he got his show money at least. If you weigh in especially, I think they work something out in terms of compensation. Like I brought up recently with people missing weight, in this case with a big miss, the commission is going to step in and automatically cancel the fight. So Claudia had no choice in accepting a fight and a % of her opponent's purse so it's not her fault in any shape or form. Sucks cause I was really looking forward to this fight with two of my favorite female fighters.

DreamBroken Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Damn, was also highly looking forward to that one, especially coming off the Grasso/Esparza fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I'm in a fight, don't come in and tell my opponent I have a knee injury and then let me keep fighting. If I have a partially torn ACL, I'm done.

hammerva Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Yeah good thing that doctor was around during the Santos vs Jones fight. Imagine him in the 2nd round saying "he has blown out almost everything on his knees. He'll be fine' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if anyone saw it, but at the end of last year, Yuriorkis Gamboa fought basically an entire 12 round fight with a torn achilles. He adamantly told his corner that he couldn't go anymore because of his foot between rounds 2 and 3. Maybe something was lost in translation (which is funny because everyone in the corner speaks Spanish), but they thought it was an issue with his shoe because it was tearing apart. Then, they taped up the shoe a few rounds later. Gamboa fought another man in Gervonta Davis for an additional 30 minutes with a torn achilles and who was rocking him damn near every round. That's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane. I guess all of these things are a matter of degree, but if your achilles is all the way torn, you physically cant stand. If it's completely torn you basically have no control of your foot. It's irresponsible to let anyone fight with even a partially torn achilles, though it is amazing when they do. It is probably the most devastating injury that an athlete can have. Brian Kelleher is a dude I've seen fight multiple times. If he walks up to me next Wednesday, I'll have no idea who he is.

It is probably the most devastating injury that an athlete can have. For one thing, the fight was in Atlanta at State Farm Arena and Georgia doesn't have many boxing events let alone a high profile boxing event. Gamboa's corner basically had a never ending conversation that lasted beyond the allotted time between rounds. Usually, if something strange like that happens, the ref or a commission rep steps in to see what the hell is going on and then a doctor steps in if necessary. If it's an injury or the fighter verbally quits like that, that's the end. But in Georgia state, I guess the rules are a tad different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
